Chapter 217: Identification
"To do great things, sacrifice is inevitable."
Qiu Quan, who was suppressed by others, shouted that even if he was arrested, he would insist on his faith, and let the congregation adhere to his faith like him.
"Your life is life, but isn't someone else's life life?"
"You want to universalize sentient beings and release human rights, have you ever asked the princes outside if they agree? Have you ever asked whether the feudal dogma outside agrees? ”
"I want to like it, I want everyone to be equal, I want all people to have human rights.
But the outside world is ruled by the strong, and the strong outside do not agree, if they insist on going their own way, they can only get endless wars and endless lives. ”
"Uncle Qiu, the fairness you want is exchanged for other people's lives, so aren't others innocent? The real Qiu Quan, isn't he innocent? You killed him in order to get his identity, who should he turn to for redress. ”
"Qiu Quan, this king should call you, the Lord of Linyuan City is right, you are right, right?"
Chu Qingyu suddenly spoke, causing Qiu Quan's face to change instantly.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"The refugees you accepted are in Linyuan City, and you were originally the Lord of Linyuan City, right?"
Jin Yue was surprised, she remembered that the Lord of Linyuan City died, and Linyuan City had also become a ghost town.
Linyuan City was originally a border city of the Little Qin State, and it became the territory of Great Chu after it was destroyed.
When I was a child, I heard the first emperor say that all the officials who took office in Linyuan disappeared, and then no official dared to go.
Over time, Linyuan City became a ghost town that no one dared to go to.
Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Linyuan City was originally just a small city, and its location was remote, so it was not taken seriously by the imperial court.
Unexpectedly, the Linyuan City turned out to be the city of the Dark God Sect.
"How the hell do you know?"
Chu Heng looked at Jin Yue: "It also depends on my wife, every time my wife comes back to her mother's house, she will always mutter about her mother's family in front of me, and this hall is also happy to listen to her nagging, so I captured the information from her words." ”
Jin Yue was surprised, and looked at Chu Qingyu with wide eyes, obviously she didn't know it herself.
Chu Qingyu doted on you with his eyes and said, "As you said, Qiu Quan's attitude towards his daughter is very cold, unless she is not her own, how can it be?" ”
is like Concubine Qin, he tried so hard to please her, but Concubine Qin was not close to him.
"Is that the only one?" Qiu Quan was not convinced.
Later, with the help of my father-in-law, I became your black-faced guard here, and entered Linyuan City with you, and at that moment I had clear suspicions.
So I specially ordered someone to investigate, and sure enough, I asked the main hall to find out everything about your Linyuan City Lord.
The city lord of Linyuan, that is, Qiu Quan, smiled bitterly: "Since you have found out, you can understand why I want to overthrow Da Chu and overthrow this imperial power that eats people and does not spit out bones." ”
Chu Qingyu said: "You are wrong. ”
"I'm not wrong."
Chu Qingyu shook his head: "The person who caused you the misery of Linyuan City was not my Great Chu army, but the god lord you were loyal to. ”
"You're talking nonsense."
Chu Qingyu didn't want to say more, and since he found out all this, he ordered someone to bring people over quickly.
"Daddy." A woman stepped out of the crowd, followed by a young man.
When the Linyuan City Lord saw the woman, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
The guards who were holding him down let go of him, and the woman ran over, and the two embraced each other in public.
"Qiu Xia, you really are Qiu Xia."
Although his daughter Qiuxia was only seven or eight years old when the city was slaughtered, he could identify this woman as his daughter just by looking at it now.
Except for the similar facial features, the unique red mole on the corner of her daughter's mouth can't deceive people.
The woman's crying eyes were red: "Dad, I thought you were dead, I thought I would never see you again in this life, woo woo woo......"
"What's going on? Why are you still alive? Isn't that charred corpse you? ”
Qiu Xia shook her head: "Back then, the Little Qin State was defeated, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Chu rushed into our Linyuan City, father, you led people to negotiate with the Qin army, and our Linyuan City was suddenly attacked.
After those bastards entered the city, they burned and looted, set fire to the city, and my mother put me in the big water tank of the city lord's mansion in order to save me, and I saw my mother killed by their arrows, and the city lord's mansion was also set on fire by them......
When the Linyuan City Lord heard this, endless hatred burst out in his eyes.
Pointing at Chu Qingyu, he said viciously: "You Great Chu Kingdom are all dogs with human faces and beast hearts.
At the beginning of the destruction of the Xiao Qin State, your Great Chu State obviously promised me to take the city to Cheng, and not hurt me in Linyuan City.
But after I went to sign the surrender treaty with the main general of the Chu army and rushed back to Linyuan City, I went to hell on earth in Linyuan City. ”
Every time he thought of returning to the city, he saw the flames soaring into the sky and corpses all over the ground, and he hated to tear everyone in the Great Chu Kingdom alive. ”
When Qiu Xia saw her father like this, she immediately shook her head: "Father, it's not the Great Chu soldiers who slaughtered the city, they didn't." ”
The city lord of Linyuan looked at his daughter and said, "When you were young, what did you know?" ”
Qiu Xia shook her head, and then began to look for something in the crowd.
She had heard about it when she came, and had identified the murderer, so she assumed that the murderer was here.
When her gaze touched the Divine Master, she trembled.
Even though decades have passed, the fear engraved in my heart will not be forgotten until death.
"It's him." Qiu Xia's eyes were already full of tears at this moment.
"Dad, he led people to slaughter the city, and it was he who ordered people to kill my mother and brother......
The Linyuan City Lord was incredulous: "How is it possible, Qiu Xia, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”
"It's impossible to admit mistakes." Qiu Xia's eyes were full of hatred, and she affirmed: "Even if he turns to ashes, I know him, and I remember his eyes full of pity."
But the mercy was full of sin, and he said that there was no one left alive, and the masked guards killed his mother, as well as his brother who couldn't escape, and all the people in the city lord's mansion. ”
Qiu Xia trembled, and hatred supported her to walk in front of the god.
She asked angrily: "At that time, you were only in your twenties, and you looked so pure and clean in a white robe, and you looked so beautiful.
But you let people slaughter the city, why are you so ruthless, why do you kill everyone......
Qiu Xia's words were shouted hysterically, which shows how angry she is.
At this moment, the light in the eyes of the Linyuan City Lord was gone, as if something was broken.
Everyone looked at it incredulously, and in their hearts, the god was a god, a good being, and a righteous being.
But at this moment, it seems that something has been lost, and the faith they have always been proud of seems to be collapsing.
"Hahaha......"
The god lord who was pressed on the high platform suddenly laughed wildly, and everyone looked at him.
"All progress comes with sacrifices, I want to change the world, change all of you, and I'm right.
If the lives of tens of thousands of people are exchanged for the happiness of millions of people, then everything is worth it. ”
